 Another rendering of Marina Fonatur/Marina Cozumel
Intending to place the foundation stone, to some days before ending the city government of Cozumel, the administration of Gustavo Ortega emitted the permissions of construction of “Marina Fonatur" to a side of the current Caleta; in spite of the fact that the Plan of Territorial Ecological Code, POET, of the island, still in force and the plan of management of the National Marine Park of Cozumel, prohibit the construction of navies and the modification in any form of the coastal rock.
When they began with the construction work of the "Marina Fonatur" in the last days of March, three codes were violated at least: the POET, the plan of management of the Marine Park and the General Law of wildlife.
The POET, or Plan of Territorial Ecological Code of the island of Cozumel, is a law that prohibits several things the previous municipal government did not agree with, among them the protection to the northeastern zone that they tried to deliver to Donald Trump and the construction of the marinas of the "government of change" that planned when less three of these installations.
This marina was unique one that was summarized because the government of Gustavo Ortega sold the idea to Fonatur with the argument that excavating an artificial navy of large dimensions, the fund would manage to appreciate a "market" of real property of the institution that in any other way would not have any value.
Besides, the movement would permit alternative places to send the boatmen of Cozumel that for decades had sheltered its launches in the Caleta, dis-occupying thus that space and delivering it to the neighboring Hotel El Presidente that demands rights on it.
To do reality all this, the municipality of then first acquired the legal property of the Cove by means of the creation of the Sustainable Integral Coastal Administration, ACIS, company by means of the one that then they would be delivered it upon mentioning hotel.
Then the project with the Fonatur was prompted and tried the change of the law by means of the modification of the POET and its replacement by a new plan a lot more "flexible" and to way, this call POEL, that although devised, discussed and imposed, not yet gone into effect because itself has not been published in the official newspaper of the state.
The code of the Marine Park and the Law of wildlife that protects to the mangrove swamps, simply they were ignored, in spite of the opinions against the work on the part of the direction of the park in that time.
Nevertheless, so much the POET as the plan of management of the park, prohibit explicitly the construction of navies and artificial beaches in that zone, besides prohibiting the excavations of the type that are required to create the navy because is a matter of an area of rivers and subterranean caverns, part of the phreatic system of the drinking water of the island.
Nevertheless, and in spite of all these legal problems, the works began the last days of March and for April 2, a smiling Gustavo Ortega placed the foundation stone of the marina along with his current boss, the director of the Fonatur, Miguel Gómez Mont.
Although such work be millionaire and the federal government he prompt it, the certain thing is that breaks the laws in force and that the City Hall of Ortega did not have the faculty to extend him the permissions of construction, action that was illegal because the authorities exist exactly to cause to be worth the law, not to ignore it and to break it.
